    In this episode of The Counter Narrative Podcast, Rihanot and Tiaraoluwa engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Lisa Sugiura is a renowned scholar on online misogyny and digital subcultures. They examine the disturbing world of incels—online communities driven by hatred and resentment toward women—and discuss the methods they use to bully and intimidate women in the digital space.

    Dr. Sugiura breaks down the psychological drivers behind incel behaviour, the devastating effects of their online harassment, and the broader cultural implications of this pervasive movement.

    Jul 29 2024

    From sunup to sundown, from Africa to Asia, America and all the way to Europe, girls are resisting the patriarchy daily. However, their stories have been dismissed, overlooked and ignored.

    In this episode of the Counter Narrative Podcast, we chat with Cate Nyambura and Jama Jack, two dynamic advocates for social justice and gender equality. Cate Nyambura, a feminist activist and development practitioner, and Jama Jack, a communication specialist and gender advocate, share their insights and experiences in challenging societal norms and pushing for systemic change with the project “Stories of Girls’ Resistance”. They tell us real stories of girls all over the world; how the patriarchy affects them, tries to beat them down and the various ways in which they are resisting and standing strong in their girl power.

    Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about reproductive rights and personal responsibility! In the explosive Season 2 premiere of Counter Narrative, we're joined by the brilliant Gabrielle Blair, award-winning author, speaker, and thought leader. Gabrielle is on a mission to flip the script on the age-old narrative that women are solely responsible for unwanted pregnancies, single motherhood, and abortions. With unflinching logic and passion, she argues that the root cause of these issues lies squarely with men who ejaculate irresponsibly.
